One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma when she got selected for both Civil at NIT Jamshedpur and CSE at IIIT Ranchi. S he decided to go for NIT Jamshedpur as she had no interest in the IT sector at all. S he wanted a core branch and NIT Jamshedpur seemed to be her best choice. Moreover, its Civil branch placements are considered to be at par with the top NITs. In your case too, it's best to focus on your interests and future prospects to make a healthy decision. If you have even a slight interest in the IT sector, choose IIIT Ranchi because its CSE is way better than NIT Jamshedpur CSE. 

Here is a brief overview of both the institutes'

So go for the branch that aligns with your preference. 

It is hard to compare particularly the finance stream but overall comparison is given below in the table;

Rather than giving you a direct answer, I am going to evaluate all The aforementioned institutes individually on the basis of some common parameters like placements, brand name, campus life, opportunities, and alumni.

IIT BHU ECE

• Core placements are rare and students mostly build their profile for software development companies by becoming proficient in various programming languages, doing competitive coding, doing projects, and trying to build a computer science-inclined profile. A handful of students target core engineering roles.
• The brand value is similar to other colleges mentioned
• The campus is rather old and might disappoint freshers expecting a good college life.

IIT Guwahati ECE

• Unfortunately, I have no knowledge about this Institute. However, I recommend you contact the seniors of IIT Guwahati for the same.

IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing

• Usually, MNCs attract top-tier software and financial services firms. If you are a hardworking student, it wouldn’t be difficult to secure amazing offers at top firms.

IIIT Hyderabad CSE

• IIIT H has possibly one of the best computer science departments in the country. 
• You have to do core computer science courses right from the first year.
• Many students get selected for Google Summer of Code and IIIT Hyderabad has its alumni in top-notch firms. 
• Being highly academically oriented, IIIT Hyderabad has minimal campus life and extracurricular activities.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and what you are looking for in your degree.

PGDM BFS is a viable option if you are keen about numbers and finance in general. PGDM core and PGDM BFS rarely has a major difference in curriculum except that marketing subjects of BFS would be less intriguing and the major pedagogy is directed towards marketing of finance products and services only.

A PGDM core student is open to a plethora of opportunities during placements as he is eligible to appear for companies offering marketing and sales profiles. On the contrary, a PGDM BFS student has been exposed to a customized curriculum that focuses mainly on Finance and lacks a wide range of opportunities. However, he has a more definite chance of securing placement at a company offering Finance roles like Banks and other financial institutions. This advantage seems very minimal right now but with the increase in the relevance of the curriculum and demand of the course, it will soon be coveted among Finance aspirants.

The BFS faculties are considered to be among the best given the excellent performance of BFS students in the recent years and the increasing popularity of the course. The companies visiting the campus for BFS are not only banks but include AMCs, NBFCs, FinTechs and other Fin Services firms. The course targets the entire Banking and Finance sector. 

At the end of the day, what remains of your college life is not the specific course you chose but the college you chose to pursue it. Be it PGDM Core or PGDM BFS, IMI Delhi is the perfect college to experience a great college life.

The section-wise weightage for final PGDBA shortlisting is not revealed by these colleges. They analyze all these aspects and a candidate’s interview when putting out the final offer. The interview helps them assess what a candidate brings to the table. Even if they start announcing the section-wise weightages some day, that should not affect your test preparation. Your work experience and past academic record are unchangeable factors, but your entrance test score is in your hands. 

Study for the entrance exam with utmost sincerity, and stop worrying about other aspects of your profile that you can not change.

For a safe and secure future, a good salary package and an easier job, I would suggest you choose Fire and Safety Engineering at SOE, CUSAT. On the other hand, if you are confident about your programming skills and knowledge, wish for a career in IT, and would be satisfied with a comparatively lower salary (probably), choose the CSE course at SOE, CUSAT. In Safety, the job profiles are less demanding and the competition is not as high as in CSE. CSE jobs are purely merit-based. To get into Amazon, Snapdeal, etc. with high packages of 11–14 LPA and above, you need to be very skilled and hardworking. Curriculum-wise, Safety is a lot easier and contains the basics of the branches- CE, ME, EEE & EC. Therefore, based on your personal preferences, choose your stream wisely. Both CSE and Safety at SOE, CUSAT are good courses.

You need to consider several factors before deciding the best college for yourself. Here are a few factors and the preferred choice if you give preference to that factor alone

1. Alumni : The age of the institute determines how strong the alumni network is which is very crucial for the development of the institute. In terms of the alumni network the preference order should be NIT Jaipur=NIT Kurukshetra> NIT Delhi
2. Placements: The placement scenario is somewhat similar in all the aforementioned institutes. However, NIT Delhi has a slight advantage being in Delhi. The order should be NIT Delhi > NIT Jaipur = NIT Kurukshetra
3. Faculty: In my opinion, NIT Delhi has the best professors.
4. Campus : NIT Kurukshetra and NIT Jaipur have equally beautiful campuses whereas the permanent campus of NIT Delhi is under construction.

Ultimately, the final decision depends on your personal preferences.

Both IIT Patna and Jadavpur University are well-reputed institutes in India, and they offer effective classes and a resourceful atmosphere to the students. 

There are some unique factors that distinguish both institutes from each other, which are listed below

• Infrastructure – IIT Patna is known for its world-class infrastructure, high-quality research labs, good campus, and excellent academics. The infrastructure of Jadavpur University is not up to par when compared with the IIT Patna.
• Faculty -  IIT Patna has more efficient and experienced faculties in all departments than Jadavpur University. They are always available to the students to clear their doubts and give proper guidance.
• Placements: The highest package for IIT Patna was recorded to be 82.05 LPA while Jadavpur University received only 1.8 LPA.

You can opt for IIT Patna to excel in the field of chemical engineering

For BIMTECH in the year 2022, the average package of the top 10% was 15.86 LPA.

The top 25% of the batch received 14.31 LPA while the top 50% of the batch was 12.80 LPA.

For ITM Khargar, the average salary for 2022 ranges from 5.6 to 8.5 LPA. The recruiters include Amazon, Shoppers Stop, Kotak Mahindra Bank, LG, and JP Morgan. 

In my opinion, in terms of placement, BIMTECH is the better choice of the two.
